Get paid to cash in your PTO — if you go to St. Pete-Clearwater beaches

Visit St. Pete-Clearwater is giving travelers the ultimate incentive to cash in those unused vacation days: up to $250 cash for booking a vacation to the area before the end of the year. 

It’s a simple offer. Book a trip to St. Petersburg or Clearwater through VisitSPC.com/PTO for any time before the end of 2025, and the tourism bureau will give you a $50 digital Visa gift card for each day of your stay, up to five days. That’s up to $250 in extra pocket money to spend a week enjoying Florida’s Gulf coast. 

The new campaign is a call to action, Visit SPC leadership sasy, bolstered by a recent study from the Society for Human Resource Management that found roughly 48% of employees in the U.S. expect to have unused, paid vacation time left over by the end of the year.
